There is also some experimentation under way to implement plugins in 
Haskell: http://leiffrenzel.de/eclipse/cohatoe/ The Haskell code is 
plugged into Eclipse via hs-plugins. However, the ultimate entry point 
to the IDE is still Eclipse's, so there will be some Java/XML 
boilerplate necessary for getting a plugin hooked.

Thanks && ciao,
